The event, which will run until October 13, is deployed under the 2018 – 2020 OCOP program signed by Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue in May 2018.
Accordingly, the OCOP program looks to develop the rural economy by harnessing craft villages potential and adding values. It is considered as one of the measures and tasks of the national target program on rural area modernization.
The program focuses on promoting commercialization of advantaged agricultural, non-agricultural and service products at each locality, which will be realized by private economic sectors including businesses and production households and collective economy.
